We have reviewed the handling of four complaints, namely that:

the same officer later denied giving the applicant a verbal warning during the call, which the applicant viewed as dishonest;
on 11 January 2019, the same officer did not act impartially when he issued the applicant with a recorded police warning;
on 19 January 2019, an officer did not act impartially in connection with the matter for which the applicant was charged.
